A stop-off after a gruelling walk. Sadly both the ales available (Brakspear and Wychwood Gold) were flat, listless and generally poor. Unimpressed.

An attractive middle-of-nowhere pub a good 20 minute yomp up the hill from Wargrave. Pretty location and a bit of history about the place - started in Tudor times as a hunting lodge, to which a barn (now dining area) was added 200 years ago. Look out for the huge horns above the entrance. Usually two or three Marstons list ales on in decent nick.

An attractive pub in this small hamlet a pleasant stroll up from Wargrave, it has the traditional appearance of a country inn, but once inside it has perhaps had a bit of a contemporary makeover at some point. It’s not at all unpleasant, but just not quite as quaint and traditional as you may be expecting going on the outside.
It’s a good sized pub with a number of different rooms, although they all flow in to one another rather than being entirely separate. The flooring is a mixture of carpet and wood boards as well as some flagstones at the front. What appeared to be a dining area was off to the left, with the main drinking part of the pub being an L-shape around the bar counter. This was packed to capacity on a recent Saturday afternoon visit due to the television in the front bar showing the six nations rugby. The locals all seemed a friendly crowd. A small brick fire-place was at the rear of the bar, and this led through in to a light and airy room with pleasant views over the large garden and patio.
Beers on tap were just Brakespear Bitter and Hobgoblin. The solitary cider was Symonds Founders Reserve.
